I remember last year a documentarty was shown on Tv about CCTV camera's were giving out parking tickets for illegal parking, like confette.
This was one item that caught my eye, it just makes me wonder who pockets the money, and each year the cost goes up.
I live near Hounslow, and if you ever go to the Blenheim Centre, the price has increased twice over the past 18 months, although you can park in ASDA, providing you buy goods over £10.00.
You can see parking attendants on every corner. In Central London parking is 50p for THREE MINUTES.
If there is a road near you that people know where to park for free. Guaranteed next year there will be parking meters there - another rip off by councils.

Living just off our local high street and having to put up with the problems caused by people who are too tight to pay for a space in one of the 4 local car parks (one of which is a few metres from the end of my road), I really wish the council would introduce a permit parking scheme in my area. Apparently our local resident's association tried to get the council to start one and was told in no uncertain terms that the council considered a good source of free parking spaces for the workers of the local Sainsburys..
